Adie, Bonners ... ?

Cheers

Paul.

 

How far south are you coming from?

I'm going by cage.[1]

A truly awful admission to have to make I know but the bike really needs
a bit of investigation done on the steering and it won't get done
beforehand.

I do have an additional excuse as I want to take me handicam and the
tripod that is free for anyone to borrow at any time and work on this
holding a camera and still being a part of the party bit.[1] I am sure
it is achievable.


I'll be taking me gear though, just in case Rog takes the matchless 2
wheels and in hopeful expectation of Platy turning up on an equally
matchless three.


[1] Thinking about it I could maybe play a part in the underground
railway. I have loads of volume to spare.

 

I'll be going up from Maidenhead. If it's sunny (or, at least, not
pissing down), I'll probably avoid the M1 and take the more scenic
route as per EOSM with Wik and Porl last year.

 

Good, I'll come via Maidenhead then.

 

What was the scenic route as a matter of interest?

 

I don't think I'm going as Saturday is 'first service' day and SUnday is
occupied with something else.

Oh well, on the positive side after the first service I shall at least be
able to thrash it a bit more guilt-free.

 

we're going up Friday night and making a weekend of it for a change.

A404 to High Wycombe
A4010 to Aylesbury
A413 and A43 to Towcester
A5 to Hinckley (long and dull, but better than the M1)
A447, A511, B587 (signs for Melbourne and Derby)
A50, A38, and then following signs to Heddleston and Hulland

We only got lost once.

 

Hmm, the time I went to the EOSM, it went something like:

A413 to Buckingham;
A422 to Banbury;
A423 to Coventry;
B4098 and then A51 to Tamworth;
A513;
A515 to Ashbourne, then A517.

It avoided the very dull A5.

Or to speed it up a tad, stay on the A422 to Stratford, jump on the
M40/M42 for 25 odd miles to J9 (gets the busy B'Ham/Coventry bit out of
the way), and A446, then A38 to Lichfield and then pick up the A515 to
Ashbourne.

Works for me, I'm North Hampshire on the M3 so i'll prolly come cross
conuntry via Sandhurst to Maidenhead. Unless it's persisting down ...

Cheers,

Paul.

Going up early Saturday morning, straightlining it up M1 and slipping along
the A52 etc through the back end of Hulland to my destination farmhouse B&B.
See you there to catch up on *life* etc

I'll be going via Hexton, Bosworth Field and Repton.

Returning via Newark, Moulton, Gretton and Old Warden.

Usual reason.
